About This Book
Collision Course
Unless the newspaper photograph lied, good-looking young Dr. Jay Martin was the man for Suzy Sanders. The High Valley paper ran the photo when Jay's stepfather, Dr. Warrick, died, along with an explanation of why Jay had been unable to attend the funeral. A doctor aboard the cruise ship Santa Louisa, he was recovering from a broken leg, suffered when the liner ran into a storm. Enterprising Suzy heads for New York with a ticket for the Santa Louisa's spring Caribbean cruise. What she doesn't know is that Jay Martin has a fiancee or had one. Blond, beautiful Judith Cartwright wants Jay to give up being a ship's doctor for a lucrative practice on Park Avenue. Jay has refused and cancelled their plans to honeymoon on the Louisa. But Judy books passage for herself, intending to persuade Jay to chance his mind. And if she can't manage that, at least make sure no other girl gets near him!
THE COMPETITION ..
The boat deck was windy...a salty wind that could be tasted. Suzy felt like a Valkyrie, borne on the wild wind. She began to run-- and would have collided with a couple standing close together in a sheltered corner if a low, passionate voice hadn't stopped her stock-still. "Jay, oh, Jay!" The voice was that of Judy Cartwright. Her arms were around Jay Martin's neck and his head was bent as he stopped her words with a kiss. The seconds went by, and still Suzy stood. At last she backed off the way she had come... Over Jay's shoulder, Judy watched her go.
